It's official - Blatter has lost the plot
 
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has controversially said that all football matches should have a result and that drawn games should be scrapped.
The chief of world football's governing body is no stranger to controversy and is always happy to speak his mind.

This time the Swede says that every single game of football across the globe should produce a result - ending the days of drawn games.

He has suggested using penalty shout-outs to decide matches that end all-square, but he is open to any other suggestions on how to end matches.

"Every game should have a winner," Blatter told German agency SID.

"When you play cards or any other game, there's always a winner and a loser. We should have the courage to introduce a final decision in every game of football."

Blatter's latest brainstorm would change the face of football forever and his ideas are sure to be met with dubious reaction to say the least.

Can all the bodies not call for a vote or something because he really has lost the plot if he's said that. What was that thing he said about women playing in tight shorts to get higher interest?

PureHatred 04-27-2004 04:20 PM

Ending a game of football on penalty kicks is like ending a game of basketball on a free-throw contest. Pretty cheap. This is a piss poor idea.

Here in America, many writers have said tha the reason that hockey and "soccer" struggle is because Americans can't get behind the idea of ties. I think thats bullshit, though.

MTR 04-27-2004 04:21 PM

How did he become president? Seriously. I mean it was bad enough what he said about the women's game but now he wants to get rid of draws. Insane.

MTR 04-27-2004 04:26 PM

Where did you find the story by the way. I can't seem to find it.

Wengerland 04-27-2004 04:29 PM

Yeah RBF told me about this earlier.

Just :|!

Rob 04-27-2004 04:39 PM

The sooner we get rid of him, the sooner we can have the old World Cup system back - World Cup in Europe every 8 years.

MTR 04-27-2004 04:41 PM

Thanks. I found it on yahoo just a few minutes ago.

Wengerland 04-27-2004 05:30 PM

Also if he thinks the new offside rule is easier then he should be sakced.

Cactus Sid 04-27-2004 05:36 PM

I think its a great idea























:shifty:

Disturbed316 04-27-2004 05:58 PM

Jesus Shuttlesworth 04-27-2004 06:07 PM

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 04-27-2004 06:29 PM

Blatter is a fool. He always has been.

Dazz 04-27-2004 08:26 PM

He wanted the World Cup every two years
He wants the Premiership reduced to 16 teams
He wants Women's football played in skimpy outfits
He wants the continents to take it in turns hosting the World Cup
He tries to get involved in the Ferdinand thing, when the F.A had already dealt with it
He then speaks of the repercussions if United appeal against the Ferdinand ban, yet nothing happened.

And now this. What a tit.

packt up 04-27-2004 08:56 PM

Yeah I was like :|.

What do you mean, it's "official"?

He lost the plot years ago.

Rob 04-27-2004 10:34 PM

It was unofficial before. NOW it's official. :cool:

toxic rooster 04-27-2004 10:52 PM

But didn't he actually need to HAVE the plot at some point to justify losing it?

Ricky 04-27-2004 11:01 PM

What a prick.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 04-27-2004 11:04 PM

Can somebody explain to me why having no ties is a big deal?

toxic rooster 04-28-2004 12:50 AM

This isn't baseball, sTiMa34 :mad:

Ricky 04-28-2004 02:57 PM

It's different in cup games because a winner HAS to be decided, but in league games the way I see it is that if you weren't good enough to beat the other team in 90 mins then you don't deserve to win, simple as that.

Of course that's only the start of it.

Football is a game of tactics. Played over a season in league competition, a draw (or a tie) earns both teams a point. Rather than simply 'winning' or 'losing', teams can play for a draw if the situation deem it necessary. In cup competitions, there MUST be a winner, which is where replays, extra-time and penalties come in. Taking out the concept of playing for a draw in league games or two-legged cup ties (such as in the Champions League) would diminish the game greatly, saturating it further, unecessarily.

Mike the Metal Ed 04-28-2004 03:16 PM

And of course the fact that Leicester would have like 15 points if there were no draws. :$

Or maybe you'd be challenging for Europe :p

The Mask 04-28-2004 04:03 PM

It's a horrible idea. penalties are a horrible way to settle anything, they might as well flip a coin at the end of the match.

The Mackem 04-28-2004 04:32 PM

Defeats should be abolished.

Cactus Sid 04-28-2004 04:44 PM

Liverpool would be bottom of the league if they had to take Penalties to settle games

Rob Ban Fan 04-28-2004 06:06 PM

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">yeah, aswell as coming up with that new offside rule that no one understands he also refuses to let that retarded World Club Championship competition die. He goes on about reducing the premiership down to 16 teams because players already play too many games, perhaps we could just get rid of Micky Mouse competitions like that instead?

Its an aweful idea anyway, I can see it now, a team dominates the game for 89 minutes, the other team gets a goal against the run of play and then wins on penalties. Plus its absolutly gutting losing on penalties. :(

Its been fine for the past 150 odd years anyway, why change it now?

God that guy annoys me.</font>

They used to do that back in the 50's or something.

And I also read today that before USA '94, Blatter had the genius idea of making it a game of four quarters. He gave the reason that American fans like intervals, and they normally have more then two halves, so they would prefer it to be quarters. :|

Rob 04-29-2004 04:24 PM

Imagine the days where you got knocked out of the world cup on the flip on a coin (and it actually happened). The riots now would be sooooo awesome.

Rob Ban Fan 04-29-2004 06:29 PM

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">The guy just annoys me. His day planner must look like this:

Wake up
Breakfast
Come up with retarded ideas to introduce
Threaten to have England expelled from all tournaments for the next 50 years
Lunch
Come up with more stupid rule changes
Hype up how huge England's hooligan problem is and threaten them with expulsion from all major tournaments
Dinner
Note down some more things that arent broke and dont need fixing...and then come up with ways to fix them!
Stress that England WILL be expelled from all major tournaments if any of their fans sneeze or blink during the European championships
Bed
Dream about changes that can be made and throwing England out of tournaments.</font>

Jesus Shuttlesworth 04-30-2004 02:41 AM

lol RBF is actually mad

toxic rooster 04-30-2004 03:57 AM

Wengerland 04-30-2004 03:02 PM
